Law firm lives or dies on post

SOLICITOR Jim Hally typically receives 30 pieces of post each day and sends out between 40 and 50 letters and parcels.

But on Thursday and Friday of last week, he received no post whatsoever. His Tramore office is just a stone’s throw from the resort’s post office.

He called in there on Saturday morning to collect the backlog, only to be told it was being sorted in Waterford and he might not have a service on Monday.
